Motion along semi-infinite straight line in a potential that is a
combination of positive quadratic and inverse quadratic functions of the position is
considered with the emphasis on the analysis of its quantum-information properties.
Classical measure of symmetry of the potential is proposed and its dependence on
the particle energy and the factor a describing a relative strength of its constituents
is described; in particular, it is shown that a variation of the parameter a alters
the shape from the half-harmonic oscillator (HHO) at a = 0 to the perfectly
symmetric one of the double frequency oscillator (DFO) in the limit of huge a.
Quantum consideration focuses on the analysis of information-theoretical measures,
such as standard deviations, Shannon, Rényi and Tsallis entropies together with
Fisher information, Onicescu energy and non-Gaussianity. For doing this, among others, a method
of calculating momentum waveforms is proposed that results in their analytic
expressions in form of the confluent hypergeometric functions. Increasing parameter
a modifies the measures in such a way that they gradually transform into those
corresponding to the DFO what, in particular, means that the lowest orbital saturates
Heisenberg, Shannon, Rényi and Tsallis uncertainty relations with the corresponding position and momentum non-Gaussianities
turning to zero. A simple expression is derived of the orbital-independent lower threshold of the semi-infinite range of the
dimensionless Rényi/Tsallis coefficient where momentum components of these one-parameter
entropies exist which shows that it varies between 1/4 at HHO and zero
when a tends to infinity. Physical interpretation of obtained mathematical results is
provided.
